When Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen accused President Uhuru Kenyatta’s elected committee of allegedly conspiring to cancel construction plans for Kimwarer dam, many expected that Deputy President William Ruto will publicly support him.
Murkomen had accused the committee behind Kimwarer dam cancellation of lacking ethnic and regional balance observing that they came from one particular community.
However, DP William Ruto who had in the past been so vocal against the alleged misappropriation of money meant for Arror and Kimwarer dams did not utter any word in support of the senator’s claims.
Ruto’s move to remain silent over the cancellation got the attention of Twitter users who took to their accounts to mock the second time senator of lacking support from his boss DP Ruto.
Many insinuated that the senator had been betrayed by Ruto and should remain quiet as well while others were of the opinion that distractors of William Ruto had sponsored the already trending tag #RutoSnubsMurkomen to cause confusion in Ruto’s camp.
Here are the comments from Twitter;

When I am having a serious meeting or engagement with some people and my 2-yr-old boy comes nagging me for a pen or keys or anything harmless, I usually give him just to deflect his attention #RutoSnubsMurkomen

I really do not care about these two guys but it’d be interesting to see one betray the other three years to the 2022 general elections. #RutoSnubsMurkomen
#KOTLoyals whoever sponsored #RutoSnubsMurkomen is a genius to have caught these loosely hanging scrotum in DP Ruto camp. It is unfortunate that @Chepkut_William
has resorted to underhand approach to the Rift Valley politics in order to get hustler's attention 🙄#mbelepamoja— #KOTLoyals (@ItsKenRotich) September 22, 2019
#RutoSnubsMurkomen Murkomen should know that Ruto is a chameleon and at the same time a spider. He can change anytime he wants and can sting you at anytime….he will dance to the tune that sings well to his egotistical desires. #KOTLoyals
